Could anyone give a tutorial on team color?

[jade8880]

There are quite a few great units without team colors. For example, I want toinsert a strategic jet bomber in my game. At first, I want to use B-52. Unfortuinately, that B-52 does not come with team color. At the end I have to use Tu-95.

here's a copy/pasting from one of my post in another thread, hope it'll help :


I made team color this way :

first I erase the part I want team color in Gimp. Then I use nifviewer too put team color instead of transparency.

find a file named TeamColor.bmp in civ4 folders

open the nif of the unit. the part of the skin you have deleted are transparent.

select the unit shape and view it's properties

scroll down and click on NiProperties

double-click on NiTexturingProperties

there you should see base map pointing to the dds skin of the unit.

add a new map (decal) with the same dds, and same properties as base map.

change base map to point to TeamColor.bmp

now you should see no transparency on the model, but a red color on this part instead

save the nif, done.

I use NifSkope to open nif file, but the model shows without skin. What kind of software do you use?

I'm using GIMP with the DDS plugin to edit the skin.

and the NIF Viewer to edit the units.
